HOW TO POT GEBANIUMS 



Clean pots are essential to success with house 

 plants. See that the pots chosen are clean in- 

 side as well as out. Having this in mind, the 

 window-gardener is advised to soak new pots 

 in hot water an hour before using them. Un- 

 less this is done, the pots are apt to absorb 

 much of the moistiu-e from the soil, causing 

 the roots of the newly potted plants to suffer
